Publisher Description

Short Poems of John Milton

With a preface by Samuel Thurber

Narrated by Denis Daly

While the issues of the day that consumed the attention of scholar, accomplished linguist, politician and severe Puritan, John Milton (1608 - 1674) are now largely of historical interest, the verse which they inspired remains a staple of English literature. Although he is best known today for his poetic epics, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, Milton was also a master of shorter verse forms, particularly the sonnet, in which many consider him second only to Shakespeare.

This collection includes twenty-one of Milton's best-known short works.

On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity

On Shakespeare

L’Allegro

Il Penseroso

At a Solemn Music

Lycidas

Fifteen Sonnets

About John Milton

John Milton (1608–1674) is considered to be among the most learned of all English poets. After graduating from Cambridge, Milton undertook six years of self-directed study in theology, philosophy, history, politics, literature, and science. He then spent several years writing pamphlets for the Puritan and Parliamentary causes. His incessant labors setting the typeface eventually led to blindness. His masterpiece, Paradise Lost, was composed in memory and dictated to a scribe.
